    Never jump start a Gen 1, you can damage the engine controller. The electronics are old and cannot take the power surge. Charge the battery first or replace it.

    Coilovers / suspension options Gen V

    Tractive is the only option if you want dual Mode. It can be tuned as well. MCS with a 500/800 spring rate would be best for you use if you delete dual mode
